ENDING THE YEAR

Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. As we close the year 2025 and trust in God as He takes us into 2026, we should know what to take into the new year and what to let go with the passing year. "It will be great foolishness to repeat the same errors of 2025 in 2026" Selah Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. Therefore: * let the lessons sink in and not the hurts * forgive those who have wronged you * believe again, "that it did not happen in 2025 does not mean it will not be fulfilled in 2026" * remember those who have blessed you, financially, spiritually and mentally, APPRECIATE them * plan to wo...

DON'T GET IT TWISTED

John 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Do not get it twisted, Christ is manifested through those who have believed and not the other way round. Romans 8:9(NLT) But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by God's Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) Romans 8:9b Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Why then do most believers desire so much to fit in with the world? Why do they desire the world's approval? No, we are not talking about going against constituted authority or making oneself a nuisance through hypocritical behaviours, neither are we talking about looking down on those who are yet to be saved. No. We are talking of living the lifestyle of unbelievers, the sinful nature which Christ came to deliver us from. Yo...

BE LED BY THE SPIRIT

John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. Do you see the Lord, have you encountered Him? If not, then who have you been following? As odd as the question seems, many who claim to be believers need to ask themselves this question. John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Can you confidently declare this? What is the key thing? OBEDIENCE! John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. As we end the year. It is time to answer some questions pertaining to the Spirit. We must get it right. For it is by the Spirit we can do exploits in the coming year. Awake in prayer, the word, worship, fasting. We must quench the flesh and keep our spirit alive for us to enjoy sweet fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Arise, be fervent, take action, ...

DILIGENCE

Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean [men]. One thing we must perfect as we enter the coming year is Diligence. The Lord does not encourage laziness. So we should not. This cuts across every area of our lives. Physical, Spiritual, Academic etc. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Romans 12:11(NLT) Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. 1 Thessalonians 5:14(NLT) Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. Proverbs 12:24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. Proverbs 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent [tend] only to plenteousness; but of every one [that is] hasty only to want. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and [hath] nothing: b...

STILL YOUR SEASON

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. As we come closer to wrap up the year, it is already time to begin to take stock of what we were able to achieve this year. How much have we been able to stay disciplined to the path the Lord helped us create for the year? What of our resolutions, how much of them were we able to keep. Our work, reading, spiritual commitments, family commitments in fact the whole goals and plans for the year? The question is "How far?" and "How well?" Psalm 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The book of Ecclesiastes states that there is always times and seasons: Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: We will obviously feel bad if we feel that we are behin...

BEWARE OF THE STRANGER

Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. There are many things in the atmosphere, however, it is not just about what is present but what is active. Selah There is sin and negativity in the world but there is also love, righteousness and positivity. If I decide to live in the consciousness of the negative, I falter, I remain unfulfilled, get stagnated and eventually fail. Does it mean those negatives do not exist, No. However I don't operate in its realm. I operate in the realm of the positive. Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. That was what God made, however the enemy decided to point the woman to that which was present, but was commanded not to touch. Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. So what do we do to this kind of s...

Christmas: CHRIST - MASS

Galatians 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: The purpose of Christ's birth was His death, then His resurrection. Many religions claim to believe that Christ came, yes that is historically correct, however His death and resurrection they reject, thus they miss salvation. He was born that He would suffer and die and His death would be the payment of sin. His resurrection, the victory over death. Thus man's redemption is complete. Halleluyah John 12:32-33 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.  This he said, signifying what death he should die. Salvation is in your belief that He died and that God raised Him from the dead. Selah Romans 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Just as David prophesied: Psalm 16:10&11 For thou wilt no...
